Hands-Down Best Revenue Manager on the Island

You will hear about "in house" Revenue Management - huh? Our Company Founder Chad Hart does this personally and we cannot imagine NOT having the Company Head do this most important job on rate setting as it takes decades of local market knowledge, coupled with hard data to properly set rates.

Get what you Pay For

Most Property Managers claim some low percentage - but it's a trap for you. A low cost to manage what is likely one of the largest investments you have is fool-hardy at best. We charge a fair percentage and don't hammer our owners on non stop nickel dime fees that add up on the back end. It's clear and fair. Remember, Uncle Sam aka the IRS allows you to write off our cost to professionally manage your property anyway. Therefore why not contract the best? You can't win the Super Bowl with the least or cheapest talent either. You get what you pay for.

OTA Killers

Everyone claims they are experts at maximizing OTA (Online Travel Agency) bookings like Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Expedia, and about 50 others you've never even heard of.

Your Second Home should not be your Second Job!

Locally Based Company & Office

You get what you pay for when it comes to whom you choose to manage your property. While National “rental agencies” offer cut rates, they offer “cut” service too. Our office is located at 2600 Padre Blvd, across the street from the Kraken Grill on the North Side of the Beach Club building. Our onsite staff of front desk, maintenance, housekeeping including complimentary linen & towel exchange & guest services are right there – not out of State! Local accountability right on the Island

Standardized & Rotated Inspections

We have found that randomizing which inspectors do our thorough checklist means more eyes ensuring quality on your home services. We also randomize when inspections are done, to make sure our Housekeepers must do a great job each & every time. Additionally, our inspectors do final touch ups, make sure guest amenities like our provided coffee, tea, sweetener, creamer, non stick cooking spray, salt & pepper etc are all there. They do drop a cleanliness “Score Card” at each property to solicit guest feedback that is invaluable in managing our staff & giving bonuses based on 5 star reviews

Professional Vendor Relationships

We have the most complete network of vendors we partner with for maintenance we don’t do in house, which means we contract the service and take it off your Owners statement. These services include:
• HVAC (heating and AC)
• Plumbing (not like a leaky fauctet)
• Pest Control (if not HOA provided)
• Pool Cleaning
• Electrical & wiring problems
If you have a stand alone home, in the summer we provide complimentary security patrols as well at night to give you (and us!) a piece of mind

Housekeeping on Staff

One of the first consideration on review scores is cleanliness – and our Company does not outsource our cleaning services to outside contractors giving us more control as they are employees as well as simply cleaner properties. We use housekeeping teams that get to know your property, rather than a constant rotation of strangers entering your home to “clean”, often times providing “rushed” cleanings as they get paid per property. We assure property a standardized, uniform cleaning & quality checks – not to mention providing all towels, linens, hand soaps, dish soap, dishwasher pods, toilet paper & paper towels – no extra charge to our Owners

In House Property Maintenance

Our maintenance professionals are full time employees at our Company, skilled at fixing just about everything in a timely fashion and at a fair price. If you are renting your home or condo as a short term vacation rental on South Padre, it is important we take a preventive approach to keeping your home in tip top condition. Renting your property is fairly easy – maintenance & upkeep are not if you don’t have South Padre Island Trips on your side 

Short Term Inventory Checklist Verification System

At onboarding when you first start your rental with us, as well as 1x per year in the fall we physically go thru your property at no charge to check & verify that needed items to assure a good guest experience and review are present. These are things like “enough wine glasses” to an airbed to sufficient pillows. While we do bill at cost for these needed items, there is no cost for the service calls

Let’s Talk to our Owners

“South Padre Island Trips has provided excellent service & ever-increasing revenue on our Condo at Saida/Royale 9039. We highly recommend them.” - Berto& Kathy Vela

“Our condo at Sunchase IV 326 beachfront was fully remodeled and we spent a lot to make it a luxurious space. We were concerned about the upkeep, and South Padre Island Trips stepped up to keep it in tip top condition.” – Maria Salazar

“We have a very large luxury home we call Bahama Mama – spent a near fortune in remodels but this is definitely and investment for us – as we live in Oklahoma, we needed a professional, onsite management Company. One thing I can tell you about Chad is he responds the same day to anything we ask” – Chris Johnson

“Our La Internacional condo on the beach right by Wanna Wanna we actually redid it for our personal use, but realized why not rent it out when we are not on the Island.” Chad & his staff really take care of your property with great rental income to boot!” – Ranita Parrish

“We have a second home at Los Cabos III that is about a block off the beach as a 2 bedroom and like to do non stop little things when we come down. South Padre Island Trips maintains it, rents it, and has it ready to go like a nice hotel stay when we arrive.” – Bobby & Kathy Thorton

“No Headache” Hotel Occupancy Tax Filing & Rental License

One of the biggest stressors of owning and renting your property on South Padre Island is the charging and collection of the required City, County, and State occupancy tax filings that all require you have a Short Term Rental License at the City Level, to actually paying these tax amounts accurately each month. This is no easy task, and we do all of this for you. In fact, the City of South Padre requires if there is a noise complaint on your property, you must respond within (1) hour IN PERSON with a signed rental agreement in hand. This is easy for us – not so easy for a non local homeowner. Let us take the stress off your shoulders completely. Please – reach out to Chad today & get a personalized & complimentary Property Consultation – whether you have been renting for years yourself and are fed up with the hassle, or may want to switch companies for better service, or are just in the market to buy & need a solution for when you close – let us help you!

Integrated Rental Management Tech

Our Company integrates the most comprehensive technology stack not only on South Padre Island, but in the Industry.

On top of this, we have maintenance & housekeeping software, keyless entry via Cell Phone hub locks & more.

Unmatched Owner Care

We offer simply the most responsive Owner care in terms of answering questions, taking care of needs, and addressing concerns. This is so very easy to test. When you are considering other Companies, but cannot speak to the Owner of that Company the same very day – why would you want them managing such massive investment it Owner communications are largely delegated to Assistants? That won’t happen with South Padre Island Trips. Call Chad or text him on his cell now: 512 825 2157. This doesn’t mean we do not have a full support staff of over 30 employees to assist with the professional management of your property.

Dead giveaways of wanna-be property management companies are a lack of a local office, contracted out housekeeping that are not employees (no control of quality) to a lack of in housemaintenance on staff. Renting is easy folks. Property upkeep is not!
